True Bluegrass Stories

History from the Heart of Kentucky

About this book

Famed pioneer Daniel Boone, upon seeing the Bluegrass region for the first time in 1769, wrote, From the top of an eminence, we saw with pleasure the beautiful level of Kentucke. Centuries later, his sentiments still ring true.
In this fast-paced collection of articles from his widely successful Looking Back column in Kentucky Monthly magazine, author Tom Stephens delivers a captivating glimpse into Kentuckys renowned Bluegrass region. Hide
away in the stockades and stations of the pioneers, discover Abraham Lincolns Lexington retreat, face off in a duel as Henry Clay did, consume the potent origins of Kentucky bourbon and sober up with the Shakers. All of this and plenty more lie ahead when you explore True Bluegrass Stories: History from the Heart of Kentucky.
